Among Patients Carrying BRCA Mutations, PARP Inhibitor Shows Activity In Pancreatic, Prostate Cancers
Source: Health News from Medical News Today [2013.05.18]
In the largest clinical trial to date to examine the efficacy of PARP inhibitor therapy in BRCA 1/2 carriers with diseases other than breast and ovarian cancer, the oral drug olaparib was found to be effective against advanced pancreatic and prostate cancers. Results of the study, led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, Israel, will be presented during the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual meeting in Chicago in early June (Abstract #11024)...
Advanced Prostate Cancer Drug Xofigo Approved By FDA
Source: Health News from Medical News Today [2013.05.17]
Xofigo (radium Ra 223 dichloride) has been approved by the US FDA for symptomatic late-stage (metastatic) castration-resistant prostate cancer that has reached bones but not other organs, i.e. with no known visceral metastatic disease. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Xifogo under the priority review program, three months ahead of schedule. According to an online FDA communiqué published this week, Xofigo is aimed at male patients whose prostate cancer metastasized despite receiving medical or surgical interventions to reduce testosterone levels...

Published Studies Related to Trelstar (Triptorelin)
Effect of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue triptorelin on the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced early menopause in premenopausal women with breast cancer: a randomized trial. [2011.07.20]
CONTEXT: Premenopausal patients with breast cancer are at high risk of premature ovarian failure induced by systemic treatments, but no standard strategies for preventing this adverse effect are yet available. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of the temporary ovarian suppression obtained by administering the gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue triptorelin during chemotherapy on the incidence of early menopause in young patients with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy... CONCLUSION: The use of triptorelin-induced temporary ovarian suppression during chemotherapy in premenopausal patients with early-stage breast cancer reduced the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced early menopause. TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00311636.
A comparison of the effect of short-term aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) and GnRH agonist (triptorelin) versus case control on pregnancy rate and symptom and sign recurrence after laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis. [2011.07]
PURPOSE: To compare the role of an aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) with a GnRH agonist (triptorelin) versus case control on the pregnancy rate and recurrence of symptoms and signs in patients with endometriosis... CONCLUSION: Pregnancy rate and endometriosis recurrence rate are comparable among the 3 groups.
Synchronization of ovulation and fertility in weaned sows treated with intravaginal triptorelin is influenced by timing of administration and follicle size. [2011.01.15]
A 100 mug dose of triptorelin was tested for synchronizing ovulation in sows. In Experiment 1, conducted in April through June, sows (n = 125) were assigned to Control (untreated), TG-96 (Triptorelin Gel (TG) given intravaginally at 96 h post-weaning), or TG-E (given intravaginally at estrus)... However, ovulation induction and timed AI success may benefit from an approach that ensures sows have adequate follicle development at time of treatment.
A randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing the effects of aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (triptorelin) on uterine leiomyoma volume and hormonal status. [2010.01]
OBJECTIVE: To examine and compare the efficacy and safety of GnRH agonist (GnRHa) vs. aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with leiomyomas.
A randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing the effects of aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (triptorelin) on uterine leiomyoma volume and hormonal status. [2009.01.08]
OBJECTIVE: To examine and compare the efficacy and safety of GnRH agonist (GnRHa) vs. aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with leiomyomas.Rapid onset of action and avoidance of initial gonadotropin flare with an aromatase inhibitor may be advantageous for short-term management of women with myomas of any size who are to be managed transiently and who wish to avoid surgical intervention, specifically women with unexplained infertility having uterine myoma.
Clinical Trials Related to Trelstar (Triptorelin)
Equivalence of Intramuscular (IM) Versus Subcutaneous (SC) Applications of Long Acting Pamorelin 11.25 mg [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the pharmacodynamic equivalence of triptorelin
pamoate (Pamorelin® LA 11. 25 mg), applied either IM or SC, in terms of the area under the
curve [AUC1-85day] for serum testosterone in patients with advanced prostate cancer.
Efficacy, Safety, and PK of Triptorelin 6-month Formulation in Patients With Central Precocious Puberty [Recruiting]
The study will investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of triptorelin 22. 5 mg
6-month formulation in 44 patients suffering from central precocious puberty. The null
hypothesis of the study is that the proportion of patients achieving LH suppression to
prepubertal levels at Month 6 is 80%.
HOBOE: A Phase 3 Study of Adjuvant Triptorelin and Tamoxifen, Letrozole, or Letrozole and Zoledronic Acid in Premenopausal Patients With Breast Cancer. [Recruiting]
The HOBOE study was amended in November 2009, and, after reaching enrollment of the first
500 patients, the study began recruiting premenopausal patients only. The primary objective
of the extended study is to compare disease free survival in premenopausal patients with
early breast cancer. Patients receive triptorelin and are randomized in a 1: 1:1 fashion to
receive tamoxifen or letrozole, or letrozole + zoledronic acid.
The purpose of the HOBOE study, Version 1, was to compare the adjuvant hormonal therapy
treatments of Tamoxifen, Letrozole and Letrozole + Zoledronate for their effects on bone
loss in breast cancer patients. Postmenopausal and premenopausal patients were eligible, the
latter also receiving monthly triptorelin. Upon reaching the enrollment of the first 500
patients in March 2010, the study began recruiting premenopausal patients only.
Study on Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Safety of Two Subcutaneous Injections of Triptorelin Embonate 6 Month Formulation in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer [Recruiting]
The study will investigate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics and safety of triptorelin embonate
22. 5 mg 6-month formulation administered by subcutaneous injections in patients with
prostate cancer
Efficacy and Safety Study of Pamoate of Triptorelin in Children With Precocious Puberty [Recruiting]
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of triptorelin 11. 25 mg pamoate in the
delay of premature onset of puberty in girls less than 9 years and boys less than 10 years.
This is measured by assessing the proportion of children who have a suppressed Luteinizing
Hormone (LH) response to Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) test performed 3 months after
injection with triptorelin 11. 25 mg.
